Ukrainian High Technologies Ltd (the trade mark AlterNet™) is a telecommunication company, which sees its own destination in fast satisfaction of telecommunications needs existing and arising in the market of modern high-quality communication services, due to introduction of modern broadband wireless access technology of the WiMAX standard.

WiMAX is the leading standard of BWA also known as IEEE 802.16-2004 standard. It provides a broadband data trasmission for large distances (areas with radius of more then 30 km) with a speed that is comparable with cable junction (the capacity is about 10 Мbit/s or more).

In essence this technology helps to solve the last mile problem. WiMAX technology allows to work in any weather conditions and in any housing density providing high quality of connection and high speed data transfer in areas where usage of wired connections would be unreasonable from the economic and technical point of view.

Ukrainian High Technologies is the first company in CIS countries and one of the first in EMEA region that started to provide service broadband wireless Internet access using the user terminals constructed on the basis of Intel® PRO/Wireless 5116 that supports WiMAX.

The company owns the license for use of a radio-frequency resource in a range 3.4 – 3.7 GHz that allows to carry out expansion of networks on WiMax technology in all territory of Ukraine and to provide the profitable fixed wireless alternative of a usual digital wire user's line.

Alternet network is currently active in Kiev and Kharkov. The ambitious plans of the company for 2006 include opening of WiMAX network in all 26 regional centers of Ukraine.

This plan is quite real considering the fact that company’s investors are world known authoritative venture funds – Intel Capital and Russian Technologies.

The aim of Ukrainian High Technologies is to become national broadband wireless multiservice operator.
